Session 022810

Tommy and I are teaming up for Memphis so we played often this session. My excitement at how well we can potentially play together was stomped on with the reality of how inconsistent we can be as well. I played like stir-fried gay ass-cheese and had more than my fair share of stupid plays and brain farts all day. Didn't feel that strong physically and could not focus mentally. I really need to stretch out before session. Even if that means not playing the first 2-3 games to do my full routine. On the plus side, after a shaky start, I was setting well the rest of the day and served out a handful of times. Yay for me. Not practicing during the week sucks.

Session 022110

A slight improvement from last weeks session but still not playing very well. This was also my first session after getting injuries almost 2 weeks before. I used a thick ankle wrap for for support. I had it on for maybe 10 minutes then it got so annoying that I eventually took it off. My ankle was not really a factor in my play though. My service returns were abysmal and I was setting extremely well...

for the other team.

The day started out ok but I felt I became more and more useless with every game. The one highlight came with a good game with Scot fighting back a strong comeback against Cory/Greg

-mental fuck ups
-set gazing was
-ankle was ok without brace
-solid defense, particularly from Ronnie

w/ Greg 15-21 vs Scot/Cory
-Strong start but faded

w/ Ted 14-21 Cory/Greg
-solid game

w/Cory 17-21 Scot/Ted

w/Greg 18-21 Cory/Ted
-we had lead but gave up 5 straight points at the end
-several long rallies

w/Ted vs 21-16 Greg/Ronnie

Session 020710

Not a good day for me. Ronnie fell back asleep and never picked me up so I ended up taking a cab to the session. I would have been more upset but he did go out of his way previously to drop me off at a session even though he was not going to stay and play. I guess it evens out . I don't have all my video notes from this session but I know I went winless. Everything was not working for me. I did manage a few big side axes. My knees have been bothering me a little since I'm back up to (and so far leveled out at) 150lbs but my wrists are really having a hard time when landing on the shop's surface. Cory was playing noticeably aggressive from the beginning and played strong throughout the day.

Session 013110

from Scot H
"Scot 8-1

Cory 7-2


Bryan 5-3 (won every game he played unless he was playing Scot/Cory)


Ted 0-7


Cory and I played 9 games, which means that Ted and either you or Tommy only played 7. If you and Tommy both played 8, then Ted only played 6. Either way, Ted lost every game he played yesterday, which is quite odd for him. (He forgot his normal net shoes, so maybe that had a lot to do with it.)


I think Tommy was a little off, but I’m guessing that you had a fairly decent day. NOTICE: you, me, Bryan and Cory all did doubles monster drill before we began. We all had good days. Ted and Tommy did NOT do the drills, and they had sub-par days. I firmly believe there is a connection here.


Shot of the day- you dig a shot into the net, I set it low off the net, you’re right there and you QUICKLY get up and sideways for the kill. AWESOME!!!"




Weird session 2 weekends ago. I finished 2-5. I actually warmed up and stretched. We even did a couple doubles monster drills to start the day. My body was feeling good but my head just wasn't in it. Six players on the court, Ronnie and Greg didn't make it out.

Scot and Cory played together most of the day to tune up for upcoming events. They won every game they played together. Bryan had a strong day winning all of his matches except when he played against Scot/Cory. Tommy had a 10-3 record the previous two sessions but didn't have as strong an outing on Sunday. Ted was just off and lost every game.

Lots of mistakes. Oddly enough, the music playing kept my energy up and I wasn't aggravated as I normally would have been. I still went home happy that I played. I guess that's why it was a weird session for me. Had a decent day offensively. Hit a couple sweeps and scuffs just because I wasn't "swinging for the fences" as Ted likes to put it.

w/ Tommy vs Scot/Cory 11-21
ugly game

w/ Ted vs Tommy/Bryan 18-21

fun game

Quote of the day:
Ted finished his warm up and walks over to the court where doubles monster drills are just finishing up, "What the hell are you guys doing?"
Cory replies, "Getting better!"

Scots shot of the day:
I dig a shot in the front left corner but shank it into the net, near center court. Scot calmly steps to the net, waits for the bag to bounce off and gets a foot on it sending it left, back towards me. It was barely a half a foot over the net and maybe heading out of bounds. I get sideways quickly and hit a side axe for a kill. I was pretty pumped up and jumped up off the floor screaming.

Teds shot of the day:
I get a high set from Scot from the center. I step underneath and swing my leg up for a standing pulldown but my timing is off (as usual) and the contact is weak. Ted defends the the shot and tries to upper deck (bang to the back court, generally when both defenders are at the net) us. I quickly turn around take one big step to the bag and hit it with a sunback-ish toe kick that sails back to the opponents court for the kill.

My shot of the day:
In my last game, Scot easily defends a shot and bumps to me and takes his position front and center with his back to the net. In turn I give him I nice easy set that he friggin' murders with a monstrous standing sunback for the kill & for the win! No frantic scrambling, just perfectly fluid execution and solid teamwork. I sat out the last game just so I could end an otherwise mediocre day with his highlight.
